Cam Newton says Colin Kaepernick should 'absolutely' be on a roster

Cam Newton believes Colin Kaepernick is good enough to be on a NFL roster and it’s unfair that he isn’t.

Newton told reporters today that he “absolutely” thinks Kaepernick is better than some of the other starting quarterbacks around the league heading into the new season, via CBS Sports:

I really think it’s not fair. I think it’s unfair. But not to take any storm or glory away from his game, we’re trying to find every way to beat the 49ers come Sunday. But in my opinion, do I think Kaepernick is better than some of these starting quarterbacks in this league? Absolutely. . . Should he be on a roster? In my opinion, absolutely. There’s no question about it. Is he good enough to be on a roster? Is he good enough to be a starting quarterback? Absolutely.

That sounds pretty absolute to me.

Newton’s Panthers will take on Kaepernick’s old team, the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Instead of Kaepernick, Brian Hoyer will be starting at QB.
